Two problems with that: * The word "class" in front of it is a misnomer if you've no intention of using it as a class. * It's not a completely blank slate -- it comes with various baggage in the form of __xxx__ attributes (my registration function has to filter those out). Plus some unwanted behaviour such as being callable, and doing magic things with attribute access when the attribute is a descriptor. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
